HellošŸ˜Šāœ‹šŸ¼. My name is Keila🌸. I graduated from college as a business engineer, but I also love working with kids and other gigs, I’ll tell you more: BABYSITTER: Former nanny and care giver. Experience with different ages and special needs kiddos. I have been taking care of kids since I was 16 years old (coming from a biggggg family), I have my CPR certificate. I love spending time with kids and I am also very patient, organized, easy going and fun. I love dancing, singing and arts and crafts. I also love sports. My favorite thing to do is exercise and being outdoors. CLOSET ORGANIZER: Organizing, cleaning and decluttering is my passion, I would love to help you have your closet organized , finally donate all the stuff you no longer use/need and take that weight off your back. PETWALKER: I have always loved pets, so if you need someone to ocasionally baby sit/ walk your pets (the owners of the house honestly lol) I am more than happy to help. I am looking for occasional or weeknights/weekends jobs, since I am currently working full time. Thanks. Looking forward to meet you :) Best regards, K. 🌸✨

ā€œKeila was sweet and engaging with my 4 year old. I would hire her again ā€

I am an early childhood educator with experience caring for and supporting young children in a safe, loving, and structured environment. I specialize in working with children from 4 months to 12 years old, using play-based and Montessori-inspired activities to encourage learning, independence, and emotional development. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I enjoy creating meaningful routines, engaging activities, and calm spaces where children feel secure, confident, and happy. I also support families with daily routines, light household tasks related to childcare, and clear communication to ensure trust and peace of mind.

ā€œWould highly recommend. She did a great job watching my 2 1/2 year old. ā€

I love taking care of kids and this job made me realize that I wanted to be a preschool teacher that’s why I’m starting Early childhood and special needs this coming spring. I started babysitting back in my country (Argentina) since I was 18 years old where I took care of a 4 year old for 5 years. During those years I worked in a school as a catechist with ages from 3 years old to 12. I was also in a church group being in charge of teenagers. When I moved to USA to be an au pair I took care of 3 siblings (3,5 and 7 yo). Now I’m working with a family with 4 boys where the youngest is 10 months old (I started taking care of him when he was 6 months). That’s why I can say that I have experience with all the ages. Last but not least, I consider myself a patient, caring, respectful, responsible and enthusiastic nanny who you can trust your children!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
